Hashan Travis Haputhanthri ignites Kenpark Bangladesh

Hashan Travis Haputhanthri, business turnaround and human transformational specialist, philosopher, founder of YES Academy, Brand Marketing, Asia’s 1st Brand Philosophy – Travis Brandsology and IGNITE self founded 4th personality of a human recently appointed to perform his philosophical IGNITE coaching program for Kenpark garment, Bangladesh.

Speaking to newspapers Hashan Haputhanthri said, “It was a great opportunity given by McQuireRens and Jones to fly to Bangladesh to train the dynamic Kenpark Garments middle managers. IGNITE which was designed to uplift and discover the 4th personality of a person will help a middle manager to fuse himself to discover the true potential. 

IGNITE in Bangladesh was so successful where the entire team got so motivated. It is scientifically done and methodically executed. IGNITE made Kenpark teams to be fully geared up to take on the next challenges. “Kenpark Garments team is highly active and a versatile team and it is an honour to be with them. I must thank, Ajith De Silva (MD) and Namal Rajapaksha (Director Finance) of Kenpark Garments of encouraging me on this,” Haputhanthri said.

“It is not just another ‘motivation program’. Motivation has become a business in our country today. My IGNITE is not meant for that, but for sheer discovery of a person’s hidden self or the hidden ignitable domain’s strength. I urge organisations to promote these kinds of programs where it will discover a person’s true self. I launched this in India and the feedback was really breath taking. Then I went to Pakistan and few other countries and allowed students to discover the true potential.
